It looks like Anthony Stewart hasn't made the San Jose Sharks' roster.

Stewart was participating in San Jose's training camp on a tryout basis. Even if Stewart won't be able to sign with the Sharks, we still wouldn't dismiss the possibility of him agreeing to a one-way deal with another NHL team. Mon, Sep 30, 2013 05:02:00 PM

Anthony Stewart is hoping he can help fill the void left by Raffi Torres (knee).

Torres is expected to miss at least six weeks, but his timeline gets much worse if it's determined that he needs surgery. Meanwhile, Stewart is still participating in the Sharks' training camp on a tryout basis. "Raffi fills a big role for the team, but it’s an opening for me, a similar type player where I like to get in on the forecheck and throw some big hits," Stewart said. "Hopefully it gives me a long, good look to show what I can do. I've played two games so far and I feel comfortable enough with what I've accomplished so far, but not content." Sharks coach Todd McLellan has liked what he's seen from Stewart so far in training camp. Tue, Sep 24, 2013 11:33:00 AM

Stewart is in camp on a PTO and will have trouble cracking the Sharks lineup. "I like where it's going, but it's only been three periods," coach Todd McLellan said. "He's got a lot more work in front of him, and we've got a lot more viewing to do before we can really formulate an opinion. I don't want him to real good and I don't want him to feel real bad, I just want him to play. Just play. He's a veteran and has played enough games, he feels comfortable in the National Hockey League." Don't expect much if anything from Stewart in the NHL this season. Thu, Sep 19, 2013 10:21:00 AM

Stewart was acquired by the Kings from the Hurricanes after the lockout but spent the season in the minors where he had four goals and seven points in 30 games. He also spent the lockout playing in England where he had six goals and 11 points in 19 games for Nottingham.

Stewart was acquired from Carolina, along with a couple of draft picks, for tough guy Kevin Westgarth shortly after the CBA was agreed upon. He didn't play for the Kings in their opening loss to Chicago.

The Los Angeles Kings have acquired Anthony Stewart, a 2013 fourth-round draft pick, and a 2014 sixth-round pick from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for Kevin Westgarth.

That's a pretty good return for Westgarth, considering that the Kings were using him primarily as a depth forward. Stewart had nine goals and 20 points in 77 games in 2011-12 with Carolina. He should get regular playing time as a bottom-six forward with the Kings.

Anthony Stewart, who is back in North America after suiting up for the Nottingham Panthers of the Elite Ice Hockey League, is still optimistic that the 2012-13 NHL campaign can be saved.

"I've still got faith," he said Monday. "It's a waiting game now, but you've got to have that optimism." Stewart spoke fondly of his time in Nottingham, where he recorded 11 points in 19 games. "It was a great life experience," he stated. "The main thing over there was to just get some games in and stay in game shape. It's a lot easier to fall out of shape than stay in shape. I left the team in first place. It was definitely a great time."

Stewart had six goals and 11 points in 19 games with the Nottingham Panthers of the Elite Ice Hockey League. He was scheduled to make $1 million in 2012-13 with the Carolina Hurricanes before the lockout began.

Anthony Stewart will play for the Nottingham Panthers of the Elite Ice Hockey League in the UK.

Panthers Coach Corey Neilson told the website : "I'm genuinely thrilled to see him joining us, for however long. The lock-out has opened up some doors, we've already announced Guy Lepine is returning as an indirect result of the NHL dispute, now we're bringing in someone of Anthony's character and ability. The support from management in bringing this about has been fantastic. The boss picked up the baton less than 24 hours ago and with backing from the chairman here we are making an announcement of this nature. Fantastic!" Stewart has no fantasy value in the NHL but should produce as a number one fantasy overall pick over in the UK league.

Carolina's Anthony Stewart clears waivers and will remain with the team.

Stewart was placed on waivers Monday and other teams had until noon today to file a claim. The forward, who signed a two-year, $1.8-million deal with the ‘Canes last summer, is 6-7-13 in 50 games primarily as a fourth-liner.

Thornton suffered a right MCL injury on January 20 that required surgery. The veteran center's return to the lineup before the end of the regular season is up in the air as he has not been on the ice thus far. He has 13 goals and 36 points in 47 games this season.

Tomas Hertl scored a pair of goals, including the game-winning tally in overtime, in Wednesday's 4-3 victory in Edmonton.

Hertl entered the game with just one goal and one assist across the past 10 outings, so this multi-point performance was giant. It was his first game with two goals since Jan. 5 in Ottawa. Perhaps his recent skid had a little to do with the upper-body injury he had been battling. However, wait to see him produce points in a few more games before taking a chance on him outside of deeper fantasy formats.

Chris Tierney scored a goal with an assist and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-3 victory against Detroit.

Tierney also chipped in with two blocked shots across 13:26 of ice time. He has been a rather serviceable fantasy option in deeper pools over the past month, picking up four goals with nine points over the past 12 outings. Next up is a trip to Los Angeles on Thursday. He had a goal, an assist and a plus-2 rating in his last visit to L.A. back on Jan. 15.

Evander Kane's first hat trick and four-goal game was somewhat historic.

Kane entered Friday night's contest as the NHL player with the most career two-goal games (27) without a hat trick to his name. Upon scoring this third goal of the game, Kane said to his teammates "OMG finally" on finally geting off the no-hat trick list. "I’m off that list with (Pavel) Datsyuk and (Al) MacInnis of most two-goal games," Kane said. "I’ve been reminded of that for a while. It was great to be able to get the third, especially in a real important game." The soon to be UFA Kane has been a very nice trade deadline pickup for the Sharks and may be setting the tone for off-season contract negotiations with San Jose.

Kevin Labanc scored his ninth goal of the season in Monday's 5-3 win against Detroit.

Labanc has managed a pair of goals with a plus-1 rating and one game-winning tally in five contests in March. Still, he doesn't do enough on a regular basis to warrant fantasy consideration outside of the deepest pools.

Timo Meier scored a couple of goals in a 5-3 win over the Vancouver Canucks.

Meier was perfectly positioned to tip home Brendan Dillon's point shot a couple of minutes into the second period. He followed that up by using Canucks defenseman Michael Del Zotto as a screen before sniping home a beautiful shot in behind Jacob Markstrom for the game-winning goal. Meier has quietly put together a 20-goal season in his first full year in the NHL, and he currently sits at 31 points in 71 games this season. He's definitely a name to keep an eye on going into fantasy drafts next season. Kevin Labanc, Logan Couture, and Tomas Hertl also scored in the win.

Mikkel Boedker posted two assists with a plus-2 rating and two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win in Edmonton.

Boedker posted a goal with five assists and a plus-2 rating over his past seven outings, and he has managed six goals with 13 points across the past 14 outings. He has been hot lately, and shown the ability to pick up points in bunches. Boedker is worth fantasy consideration if he is on the waiver wire in your league. He has been on a roll for an extended period.

Eric Fehr scored his first goal in a San Jose Sharks sweater on Monday night against the Red Wings.

The light-scoring Fehr had managed just one assist and an even rating in his first seven games since coming over from the Toronto Maple Leafs at the trade deadline. He once had 30-35 point potential in the NHL, but he has devolved into a checking line player with very limited scoring potential and a penchant for the rough stuff. As such, his fantasy appeal is rather limited.

Joachim Blichfeld has signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the San Jose Sharks.

Blichfeld has 13 goals and 30 points in 26 WHL games this season. He was taken with the 210th overall pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. "Joachim is a natural goal scorer and can change a game with his shooting ability and hockey sense," said Sharks GM Doug Wilson. "He has proven to be one of the top goal scorers in the Western Hockey League and his puck possession game fits well with the way we want to play. We're excited to see Joachim continue to evolve as a player."

Joe Pavelski picked up a pair of assists with a plus-1 rating, two shots on goal and a hit in Monday's 5-3 win against Detroit.

Pavelski cooled off in the middle of February, but he is running hot again. He has three goals with six assists and a plus-7 rating across his past six contests. His ability to pick up points in bunches is the number one reason he should never be reserve in fantasy pools under any circumstances when healthy.

The San Jose Sharks have reportedly asked Joel Ward for his no-trade list.

Ward has a limited no-trade clause in his contract, which means he can block a trade to six teams. The 37-year-old is currently on injured reserve, so any team interested in acquiring him would have to wait for him to get healthy. The veteran has five goals and 11 points in 46 games this season. Ward is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.

It doesn't seem to be impacting his play as Burns took five shots on goal and now leads the NHL with 259. "I think everybody is (playing hurt). It’s that time of year," Burns said. "It’s fine." You heard the man. Keep him active.

Dylan DeMelo chipped in with a pair of assists, four blocked shots and a hit over 15:03 of ice time in Monday's 5-3 win against the Red Wings.

DeMelo has been amazing since flipping the calendar from February. He has seven helpers and a plus-4 rating in five March games, including a pair of assists on the power play. He had just eight assists through his first 45 games this season, but apparently the month of March agrees with him. He has emerged as a useful short-term fantasy option in deeper pools and a nice low-cost DFS choice while running hot.

Martin Jones allowed four goals on 34 shots in a 7-4 win over the Calgary Flames.

It's the most goals Jones has given up in a game since Feb. 08 against the Vegas Golden Knights. After a rough start to the season, the Sharks' starting netminder has improved since the All-Star break and can be relied upon the rest of the season. His record improves to 25-18-6 with a 2.51 goals-against-average and .916 save percentage.

Aaron Dell stopped 28 of 31 shots in a 5-3 win over the Vancouver Canucks.

All Aaron Dell does is win hockey games. San Jose's backup netminder put together another fine performance in relief of Martin Jones, making big saves when he was called upon and did enough to get his team the two points. Dell is easily the best least talked about backup goaltender in the NHL and he will see his record improve to 15-5-3 with a 2.66 goals-against-average and .913 save percentage.
